Just when I stepped out of the bus yesterday it begun raining so hard I've to wait at the waiting shed at the bus top. I finally decided to brave the rain. Just when I arrived home the rain stopped.

I said yesterday at the start of work that today I'm going to be forgetful. I thought I might even forget the names of my coworkers. I might be spacing out because I've been tired from work in the last four days. Then, one of my coworkers became forgetful forgetting the names of our coworkers. She's impressionable I think.

I have been frequenting gay online social networking sites.
I don't know if it's a good thing or bad.

I went to Dunkin Donuts and was gonna buy just a small hot chocolate. I realized the guy who had me familiar to him has already made what I usually order - cinnamon raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese. So I bought it, no comment. That's sweet of him, I thought.

Pain.

Stomach ache. I was dieing yesterday at work. Apparently I've eaten lots of fats. When I do, my body couldn't digest them.

I canceled my membership at Bally's. I realized I don't need to exercise too much, every time I do, I lost one to three pounds. I know a lot of people would actually be able to do that and with not much effort done. Running for about an hour for two to four times a weeks. I get to lose more than ten pounds and has to eat a lot to gain it back or even if not, I would still just fell hungry that I must have to eat.

I was told not to go to work today because it's memorial day and it's totally fine with me. :)

I am not at all that critical with punctuations but is it just me or that Romance language speakers have complete disregard of punctuations?

Maybe they are not in common use where they are. I know there are more punctuation usage in Spanish and Italian. But then again English witters (in forums etc.) has a complete disregard of punctuations.

Too Much Work

Ok, so last week we had a sale at work. I thought we took more than we can take. So many people I didn't recognize before showed up and the line went waaay over the entrance and people willing to wait even if it was raining outside! O_o

On the other hand, I had a conversation with a Spanish customer that went really well. (^-^)

Random pick:

1) cheap - barato (!) (Same as native language's)
2) expensive - caro, costoso (Costoso)
3) frugal - frugal (!) (cognate)
4) add - agregar (makes sense)
5) take away - llevar (!) (I've been using this all along as a translation for "to go"
6) replace - sustituir, reemplazar

(!) - means I'm surprised

Random pick:

1) exciting - emotionante
2) excite (to arouse) - exitar
3) coin - moneda
4) dirty - sucio
5) messy - desordinado

These words I've kept from yesterday.

Random Dictionary Words

Whenever I have a chance to speak with a Spanish speaker, I try my best to express what I mean. Somehow, I'm able to communicate, whether with difficulty or resorting to making body signals. But when I am completely stumped with certain words, what comes to mind is a dictionary, so I bought one. I keep records of the words I wished I have known and look it up later in the day. Of course, whether I am using it in correct grammar, I'm still not sure.
